Embracing Anger

 


We often think that anger is a negative emotion, being angry is bad and we should not show our anger. Anger is often the response of fear, excitement, and anxiety. It often comes from the body's flight or fight reaction. Hence anger is crucial for survival. 

But, holding on to anger for a longer period leads to a feeling of despair.

When we hold on to anger it consumes us so it’s always wise to let go of anger because holding anger affects our psychological well-being and quality of life, it takes lots of our energy, it can increase stress and eventually leads to many diseases.

Prolonged anger also affects our relationships with others; it has an impact on our health, our overall behavior.

Anger is an emotion so it should not be curbed instead we should accept and acknowledge anger and work towards our reaction. Because it’s not an emotion that is bad it’s how we react based on it that matters.

Also, we should not blame others for our emotions because when we blame we give away our power and we remain stuck in our anger.

Observe your anger and based on you observation function with maturity. Managing anger does not involve holding it in or avoiding feelings.

Finally, one thing we need to understand about anger is that when we accept it and let it go we begin the process of healing, and that leads to growth.

Don’t judge yourself and others based on anger. Anger is nothing but an emotion and like any other emotion, it is also not permanent. Let your thoughts flow and give yourself an opportunity to grow by accepting and healing.

Be unapologetically you!
